Purpose To request Council approval
for potential future initiatives -- RFAs, PAs,
or RFPs --
through which NIAID sets aside money to stimulate research in high-priority
areas.
Procedure
Every initiative must go through concept
clearance. NIAID publishes Concepts
cleared at recent Council meetings on the Funding Web site. Not
every concept cleared by Council becomes a published initiative.
